From what I understand it is a good quality Sig clone. Not related to CZ in any way that I can see. I know a little about "perfected" CZ 75s, this ain't it. Still, if you're looking for a 226 and can't or don't want to swing that kind of money this might be for you.I it's from Sylvania, and it's like the CZ 75 profected, or a really good knock off of the Sig P226, if you want to see it in action look up Military Arms channel, Arex zero 1 vs Sig P226 he puts it through a torture test, I didn't buy it on that test, but I've put it through a lot and it's never had a failure yet, I also have a Sig P226 and a P229, but for the money I saved the Arex is a winner of course this is JMHO
